We adopted a rescue. A friend from Cleveland Texas called to tell us a breeder threw a 4 week old puppy out because the female dried up and he (creep) doesn't bottle feed, we took him right away. We named him Chance; we were his last Chance and his only Chance. He is a Blackmouth Cur, the (creep) last owner was a breeder and trainer, the female was 12 years old and he didn't know that she bred within the pens. She dried up and his other 6 siblings died. He is a hard case but after 2 years he settled into the small pack of 3, him, mom and dad, no human is allowed to penetrate the pack. Animals (any and all species, except humans) are allowed to visit. He is now 7 years old, has allergies to everything and I think he was sent to us for a reason. We can afford his meds and our Vet is spectacular; she understand the hard cases and we all work together during Vet visits. If you are ever in Uvalde, TX and need a Vet, look up Dr. Theresa Coble. An angel in disguise. She rescues' from the local pound.
